MAC access control on access point?

[Tôm]

Hi,

Is there a way to configure an MAC based access control on access point Meraki Go GR12 ?

I was thinking it was embedded but can't find anything about this in settings.

If we can't, can I use the SG350 switch to do this, only for wifi access, and how?

Thx 😉

There is a dedicated community for Meraki Go. It's likely that you get more help there:

In general, MAC based access control doesn't really work. You should go for better solutions based on your requirements.

I'll take a look at this link, thx.

I want to prevent access from an outside person who would have knowledge of the SSID and password.

Use 802.1x based authentication.

Can you tell me more about how to do this?

I can't figure out how to setup the SG350 to have a 802.1X authentication for each AP client.

Radius server is ok and set in SG350 but I am struggling with configuration.

It's not 802.1X on the switch, use 802.1X on the SSID, and every device/Client has to authenticate to the network.

Ok, that's why I struggle with SG350 conf.

It seems there is not 802.1X on Meraki Go GR12... i'll ask on Meraki go community.
Thx

He's in your network the moment he knows a working MAC address (which is easy). If you assume that someone unauthorized has your passphrase, you either should change it or move to 802.1X.

Changing the PSK is too hard? That's the reason it is only meant to be used in residential setups and not in a company.
